Removal and InstallationNGS0000B
REMOVAL
NOTE:
When reconnecting spiral cable, fix cable with a tape so that fixing case and rotating part keep aligned. This
will omit neutral position alignment procedure during spiral cable installation.
1. Set vehicle to the straight-ahead position.
2. Remove driver air bag module. Refer to SRS-40, "
Removal and Installation" .
3. Remove steering wheel lock nut after steering is locked.
4. Remove steering wheel with the steering wheel puller A.
INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal. For tightening torque, refer to PS-10, "Removal and Installation" .
NOTE:
Check the spiral cable neutral position after replacing or rotating spiral cable. Refer to SRS-42, "
Removal and
Installation" . Tool number A: ST27180001 (J-25726-A)

POWER STEERING GEAR AND LINKAGE
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
8. Loosen bolt on upper yoke of lower joint and remove bolt on
lower yoke of joint, then slide lower joint into lower shaft. Sepa-
rate steering gear assembly from lower shaft.
9. Tack bolt on upper yoke of lower joint, fix lower joint to lower
shaft.
10. Remove the fixing bolt and remove steering gear assembly, rack
mounting bracket and insulator from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
Refer to PS-17, "Removal and Installation" for tightening torque. Install in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
Refer to component parts location and do not reuse non-reusable parts.
After removing/installing or replacing steering components, check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-6,
"Wheel Alignment Inspection" .
When steering wheel is set in the straight ahead direction, con-
firm slit of lower joint fits with the projection on rear cover cap,
furthermore marking position on steering gear assembly nearly
fits with the projection on rear cover cap.
After installation, bleed air from piping. Refer to PS-6, "Air
Bleeding Hydraulic System" .
